Zip code 13322 in Clayville, New York, is categorized as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority" as of 2022. The community has a population of 1,353 and a median household income of $72,351. This rural area, spanning 14.34 square miles, has maintained a predominantly white population over the past decade, with minimal representation from other racial groups.
Throughout the 2013-2022 period, Clayville has consistently fallen under the "Low Diversity" and "White Majority" categories. The white population has remained above 88% throughout this timeframe, with only minor fluctuations. There has been a slight increase in diversity over the years, but not enough to shift the community into a different category.
Changes include a small but steady increase in the Hispanic population, from 1% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. The Asian population fluctuated, peaking at 7% in 2020 but settling back to 2% by 2022. The Black population has remained consistently low, never exceeding 2% and dropping to 0% in recent years. These minor shifts suggest a slow trend towards slightly increased diversity, but not enough to categorize Clayville as a "Transitional Community."
The median household income in Clayville has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $57,512 in 2013 to $72,351 in 2022, representing a 25.8% increase over a decade. This growth outpaces the national inflation rate for the same period, indicating real economic gains for the community. There was a significant spike in median income to $86,103 in 2021, followed by a return to previous growth trends in 2022.
The population has shown a gradual decline from 1,546 in 2013 to 1,353 in 2022, a decrease of about 12.5%. This population decrease, coupled with rising median incomes, might suggest a trend of younger or lower-income residents moving out, potentially in search of job opportunities elsewhere.
The demographic makeup of Clayville contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. While the U.S. as a whole has been moving towards becoming a "Majority-Minority" nation, with projections suggesting this transition by mid-century, Clayville has maintained its status as a predominantly white community.
The economic growth in Clayville, as reflected by rising median incomes, aligns with broader national trends of economic recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. However, the population decline in Clayville diverges from the overall U.S. population growth trend, suggesting local factors such as limited job opportunities or an aging population may be at play.
Clayville has experienced some minor demographic shifts and notable economic growth over the past decade, but it remains a relatively homogeneous, "Low Diversity" community with a strong "White Majority." The combination of rising incomes and declining population presents both opportunities and challenges for the future development and sustainability of this rural New York village.
